 * Hi there,
 *  Just installed your wonderful theme, but as soon as i finished customising it,
   I noticed that the seconds don’t count down live. It seems to be working when
   reloading the page, (the seconds have gone by), but not when you watch it. Could
   it be that it stopped counting down because I am working in a local instal..?
 * Thank you for your help!

 * Hi skopelosvillas, how do you do? I wonder if there are any javascript errors
   appearing? May I know what modifications/customizations have you done prior to
   the issues showing up?
 * I would say that it should work even when you are on a local installation. If
   you could provide us a link to a demo of the wonderful theme you have, that’ll
   be great. It would be easier if I could take a look at.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi there and thank you for getting back to me..appreciate your time!
    I’m not
   sure how I could provide you with a link of a local installation, but I can tell
   you what few modifications I have done: 1. Even though I created a Child theme
   of this, I modified the footer.php of the parent theme to change the footer credits.
   I have a feeling that this is when it stopped working. However, I copied the 
   original footer.php for my records and then went back and copied /pasted the 
   original code into footer.php – but nothing happened. 2. I have included and 
   activated a Newsletter plugin from “ContactUs’ through “MailChimp form”, could
   it be this..?
 * Hope this helps..otherwise, please provide instructions so I can create a link
   somehow or other info..! Thank you again..!
 * P.S. This is now the code in the original “footer.php”:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * The template for displaying the footer.
        *
        * Contains footer content and the closing of the
        * #main and #page div elements.
        *
        */
       ?>
       </div>
       <!-- Footer -->
       <footer class="row show4 cu-footer">
            <div class="nine columns push-three text-right">
                 <?php _e('since 2015:'); ?><a href="http://www.webndesign.eu/" title="Webndesign" target="_blank">Webndesign</a>
            </div>
            <div class="three columns pull-nine copyright">
                 <?php echo of_get_option('copyright_text', 'countdown');?>
            </div>
       </footer>
       <!-- End Footer -->
       <?php wp_footer();?>
       </body>
       </html>
       ```

 * You’re welcome skopelosvillas,
 * Thank you for sharing the modifications you’ve done on your wonderful theme. 
   It seems that you have also deduced it from not being a problem with the changes
   you made on your footer too.
 * Have you tried deactivating your newsletter plugin and see if it works? If you
   have other plugins installed, you might want to disable each as well.
 * I wonder if your countdown timer has its own plugin too? If so would you care
   to let us know? Thank you.
 * P.S. I was just hoping to see a live demo of your theme so I could try to check
   it (the timer) on my end.
